Yesterday I missed you. Yesterday I needed you. Today I miss you. Today I need you. Tomorrow I will miss you. Tomorrow I will need you. I want you to hold me just one more time. Some know the pain, others can’t imagine. It is one you never want to feel, b...
Once before I knelt, sitting zazen before the Two Doors: The Lady or the Tiger. Last time I chose Right, and the Lady became my wife, and the breath and love of my life. Then she and our child died in childbirth. Now I again sit zazen before the Two Doors...
It was the right kind of day, chilly and gray, miserable, the sky low and sullen and spitting a few icy snowflakes which whipped around in the stiff wind. The kind of day that’s wholly appropriate for burying your best friend. The funeral had ended, and t...
It's a great day for a white wedding. Unfortunately, this bride felt blue. A lesbian wedding is no longer a novelty but remained merely a pipe dream for me until today as I stood in front of loved ones at the rustic Kentucky wedding chapel. Klea, my br...
For the first time in a long time She dreads the walk up to her room Usually, he is there to reassure her And hold her tight. But not tonight He made his choice To toss her aside And crush her Christmas wish. She looks around the room Remembering...
I wish the tide would lift me up And carry me far away, Further from the things of man Than those who wish to stay.Drifting slowly from the shore Far out into the sea. No more broken promises, Now just the waves and me.No more pain and sorrow, No more foo...
The look that I notice, When I’m stroking your hair, That moment of wisdom, You give to my ear. The boy that was hurt, But grew into the man, The rage that you feel, That I now understand. The touch of your hand, As it brushes my skin, The tremble you giv...

Have you ever looked into a portrait?And were drawn into it by their eyes;eyes that seemingly pulled at you.Eyes that you could swear were trying to tell you a secret.Deep dark pools surrounded by white sand.Pulling you deeper, seducing you. The long...
How many years has it been? How many years have passed since I've seen your face? How many sleepless nights have crowded my life? On tear smeared pages I write to you my bride. I'm a bottomless pit, an empty hollow of flesh, devoid of all emotional ties...
My heart hurts. My head tells me to be realistic. It was not meant to be. The tears flow, for reason unknown. The heart wants to blame, Wants to hate, Wants the hurt to go away. Logic will prevail, one day. Hopefully soon. The unknown heartache; Unbearabl...
Nightly, lightly the dance continues, echoes on Lightning quick, chancing eternity, just for possibly. Slightly, sprightly, another stab at plausibly; Counterstroke, counterpoint, turning, spinning like a boson. Each thrust and parry of words halts hearts...
A specter in the mirror, A wistful looking girl, Trickling rain down a window pane On a bright sunny day. The riddle, my reflection, Begs why only mirror the sorrow? Trickling rain down a window pane, On a flowery spring day. Turning away from the mirro...
Losing you was not a part of my plan, Not the day the war broke out, Nor any day following it, Soon though, It became painful and a real blow that I was struck with. We met on the summers eve, Two years before the Archduke was slain, Before Treaties and a...
